300$ APU build?

[dankknightavngr]

Im thinkin about building 300$ build. And Im planning on buying the 7890k for 150$ on amazon paired with a 1600 ram that ill oc to 2400. My question is, is this build good or a 50$ CPU + 100$ GPU be better at the same cost?

Are you budgeting the $300 just for the processor and RAM, or the whole system?

Get the pentium g4560 (~65$) + radeon rx460 (~100$). Performance-wise it will beat the 7890k by a large margin.

I just saw some benchmarks of g4560 and rx 460 and im blown away! Why are APU so overpriced man!

Current APU-s are just outdated. This will change soon as we wait for AMD Raven Ridge release on 2H this year. These APU-s will have ZEN and VEGA under the hood.
